As sustainability becomes increasingly important in the construction and mining sectors, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) stands out as an environmentally friendly and economical alternative. Crushing and screening facilities, in particular, play a key role in the production of recycled aggregate. As UĞUR MAKİNA, we are pioneers in this transformation with our mobile and stationary crushers equipped with modern technology.

What is Recycled Concrete Aggregate?
Recycled concrete aggregate is the aggregate obtained by crushing waste concrete resulting from demolition, renovation, or infrastructure projects using equipment such as jaw crushers, cone crushers, or impact crushers to make it reusable. During this process, the aggregate is separated by size using aggregate sorting machines. Areas of Use
Recycled concrete crushed stone is currently preferred in many different applications:
• Highway subbase filler
• Temporary roads and site improvements on construction sites
• Industrial filling applications
• Paving stone, curb, and concrete block production
• Use as aggregate in certain proportions in new concrete mixes
• Use as drainage and decorative stone in landscaping projects
Recycled concrete used in these areas both reduces the need for natural stone and offers cost advantages.
Benefits:
1. Environmental Benefits
• Prevents the depletion of natural aggregate resources.
• Facilitates waste management by recycling construction and demolition waste.
• Supports environmentally friendly production by reducing carbon emissions.
2. Economic Benefits
• Reduces aggregate costs.
• Saves on transportation and disposal costs.
• Optimizes logistics processes with in-situ crushing systems.
3. Suitability for the Construction Industry
• Provides high compressibility and sufficient strength.
• Can be used safely in road construction, infrastructure projects, and soil improvement projects. 4. Compliance with Regulations and Expanding Areas of Use
• The use of recycled aggregates is encouraged in the European Union and many other countries.
• The use of these materials in public projects is also increasing in Turkey.
Uğur Makina Hatay Facility: A Pioneer of Sustainable Production
The Uğur Makina 300 Ton/Hour Stationary Crushing and Screening Plant, now operational in Hatay, operates with high efficiency to meet the region’s aggregate needs. The facility processes limestone (limestone) to produce final products in sizes of 5, 12, 19, and 38 mm.
As part of modernization efforts, significant steps have been taken towards dust control and reducing environmental impact through improvements to our machinery. This has made our production processes both environmentally friendly and compliant with occupational safety standards.
